The first in a series, LOVE, LATTES AND MUTANTS by Sandra
Cox will sure be a hit
with the young adults. If you love a little bit of
romance, and some science
fiction, then this is the book that you will enjoy as
well. I am not a big reader of young adults books unless
they have a great storyline that catches your
attention and keeps it upon reading, which this novel has.
Sandra Cox is able to
present the life of a teenage girl in her character,
Piper, successfully with her
insecurities and her emotions of feeling confused from
what she feels she has to
do and what she wants to do. What teenager could not
relate to those feelings?
Add some strong characters, even mutants and you have an
interesting storyline.
Piper Dunn is a typical seventeen year old who wants to
fit in but not stand
out. She has a secret that even her closest friends must
not know. Piper is a
mutant with dolphin DNA with part of her characteristics
being a blowhole. She
likes the new dreamy boy in school, who in returns likes
her, but she must keep
her distance, without much success, so he does not find
out what she is. Then as
she tries to help a fellow dolphin friend, the very same
people who are
responsible for her mutant state capture her. She finds
that she is not the only
one of her kind and now has decisions to make at what her
heart feels.
With such a great start with a debut of a new series,
Sandra Cox has a
storyline that can take many turns in any upcoming sequels
to LOVE, LATTES AND
MUTANTS. I cannot wait for the next installment to see
what Piper has planned
next. Along with the interesting characters the paranormal
storyline is a fresh
and new one that one cannot resist.
Finding love is hard, even when you aren't a mutant. Like most seventeen-year-olds, Piper Dunn wants to blend in with the crowd. Having a blowhole is a definite handicap. A product of a lab-engineered mother with dolphin DNA, Piper spends her school days hiding her brilliant ocean-colored eyes and sea siren voice behind baggy clothing and ugly glasses. When Tyler, the new boy in school, zeroes in on her, ignoring every other girl vying for his attention, no one, including Piper, understands why... Then Piper is captured on one of her secret missions rescuing endangered sea creatures and ends up in the same test center where her mother was engineered. There she discovers she isn't the only one of her kind. Joel is someone she doesn't have to hide from, and she finds herself drawn to the dolph-boy who shares her secrets. Talking to him is almost as easy as escaping from the lab. Deciding which boy has captured her heart is another story...
